We're dividing 78982887 by 474 
We want to divide 78982887 by 474.

On to step 1:
The number 474 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 78 / 474

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 78 by 474, we get 0 and a remainder of 78.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 78 after subtracting 0 from 78.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 78 and continue: 789 / 474

On to step 3:
474 goes into 789 1 times with a remainder of 315.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 474 away from 789, we end up with 315.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 315 and continue with: 3158 / 474

Advancing to step 4:
474 goes into 3158 6 times with a remainder of 314.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 2844 from 3158 and we're left with 314.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 314 and repeat the process: 3142 / 474

Let's proceed to step 5:
474 can be fit into 3142 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 298.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 166.0
The remainder is 298 after subtracting 2844 from 3142.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 298, then repeat: 2988 / 474

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 2988 by 474, we get 6 and a remainder of 144.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1666.0
Deduct 2844 from 2988 and we're left with 144.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 144 and repeat the process: 1448 / 474

Moving on to step 7:
1448 divided by 474 is 3 with a remainder of 26.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16663.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 1422 from 1448.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 267 / 474

Advancing to step 8:
474 goes into 267 0 times with a remainder of 267.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 166630.0
Deduct 0 from 267 and we're left with 267.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2670, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 2670 by 474, we get 5 with a remainder of 300.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 166630.5
If we subtract 2370 from 2670, we get 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3000, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
3000 divided by 474 is 6 with a remainder of 156.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 166630.56
Deduct 2844 from 3000 and we're left with 156.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1560, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 474 fits into 1560 3 times, leaving a remainder of 138.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 166630.563
Subtract 1422 from 1560 to get 138.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
1380 divided by 474 is 2 with a remainder of 432.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 166630.5632
Subtract 948 from 1380 to get 432.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 474 fits into 4320 9 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 166630.56329
Subtracting 4266 from 4320 leaves us with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
474 goes into 540 1 times with a remainder of 66.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 166630.563291
Deduct 474 from 540 and we're left with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
When dividing 660 by 474, we get 1 with a remainder of 186.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 166630.5632911
The remainder is 186 after subtracting 474 from 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1860, and continue the process.

The final result is 166630.5632911 with a remainder of 1.86e-06.
